2012 Map of Ironside Mountain

About this map

The Trinity River carves a dramatic path through this 2012 survey of Trinity County, defining a landscape of steep elevation changes and narrow canyons. Settled points like Burnt Ranch and Gray Ranch anchor the river corridor, which is characterized by historical river bars and natural obstacles including Box Canyon and the massive China Slide. The map documents a rugged network of forest service roads and trails, such as Underwood Mountain Rd and Hidden Lake Rd, that lead to isolated landmarks like Hidden Lake and Ironside Mountain. Along the water, recreational sites such as Gray Falls Campground and the Cedar Flat Picnic Area provide access to the river's unique features, from the turbulence of Burnt Ranch Falls and Gray Falls to quiet tributaries like Don Juan Cr and Smoky Camp Cr. Named bars including New York Bar and Luccock Bar speak to the region's long history of river-based activity.
